St. Paul's Cathedral

St. Paul's Cathedral is an Episcopal church in San Diego built in Gothic Revival style that rises prominently above Sixth Avenue. The structure features a central tower, stained glass windows, and stone walls visible from the street.

The building was designed by architect Philip H. Frohman and opened in 1951 for the Episcopal Diocese. The structure was meant to serve as a center for this religious community.

The community shapes the space through regular musical performances and choir gatherings that bring the interior to life. The restored organ is central to these ongoing musical traditions.

You can visit the building from the outside or attend gatherings held regularly throughout the week. Check current visiting hours in advance and wear respectful clothing when entering.

The building sits on Kumeyaay tribal land and the institution actively works on housing assistance programs with the local community. This connection to the area goes beyond purely religious functions.
